On issue #160 of BTM, I received a comment from Moonboy, asking if I might give you good people an update on Boytoon Adventures #1! Moonboy read my mind! I was planning this issue for a little while and figured now would be a great time to post it.

Yup! The book now stands at a whopping 72 pages of story and a few extra pages of pin ups and other goodies! It looks freakin’ wicked, if I do say so myself. I’ve put a hellova lot of work into it, and so did Dennis, my colorist on this project.

Dennis’ colors are amazing, and he perfectly nailed the stylized, cell shading coloring style I was looking for. Plus he did a gorgeous job coloring the character pin ups in his own superb style. Just take a look at the oh-so sexy Diablo on this issue’s cover! You’ll catch my drift! YUMMY!

There are six separate stories in this first trade, four of which are fifteen pages each, and though they are all drawn in my new “Bryce Peters” style, they are nevertheless an integral part of the Class Comics canon and mythology.

The book holds some very important developments in store for characters like Ghostboy and Diablo… developments that will most likely shock the heck out of you! LOL! The Zahn story is also pretty important to his mythology, and will directly impact events in Zahn #2.

You’ll also see Locus, Flamer, Captain Jung, Disco and Camili-Cat – Cam in his raunchiest, yet touching story to date — as well as a few familiar faces from the Initiation. On top of that, you’ll meet sexy new characters… including my eco-hero, Mako Finn. Mako’s story is pretty brief, but it’s one that is very important to me.

I am so pleased that Fraser wrote an extremely sexy Initiation short story called “The Match” for this issue that will show you how Zack became the pledge master of his fraternity, and introduce you to the delicious Wade and Topher! MMmmmm — college guys! LOL! (I wanted to show you some art from “the Match” and from the Mako Finn story — but they are still being colored! Maybe next time! ;)

I actually even had a Space Cadet story planned for this issue, but I decided to save it for the next book – otherwise I could keep adding stuff to issue #1 forever! It’s that fun to work on – but at some point, a boy’s gotta put a project to bed! HA! HA! HA!

I’ve said it before and I will say it again – I love drawing as Bryce Peters. It is one of the most artistically freeing things I’ve done in a long time. The drawings just seem to flow, almost effortlessly, and it’s been a wildly fun and liberating experience putting this book together.

When I first announced this book, some of you expressed some concern over the way I draw dicks as Bryce. Well, not to worry. As the book evolved, it seems I decide to draw the penises almost exactly the way I draw them in my classic style. So you will get those trademark Fillion cocks with my new Bryce Peters animation-inspired style!

Boytoon Adventures #1 is slated for Summer 2009 release and I will continue to update you as we get closer to the official release date. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy this little sneak peek at some of the interior artwork.

Have a great evening, dear friends. More from me shortly!
Hugz + kisses,
